ur answer is 3

Answer 2

Answer:

Time = 3 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest can be calculated by the formula :

Simple Interest = PXTXR

Where = Principal

T= time .

R= rate of Interest.

The question is asking us to find time t.

T=$\frac{S.I}{PXR}$

S.=-$302.25,P=$1,559 ,r=6.5%=0.065.

Substituting these values in the formula :

T=$\frac{302.25}{1550x0.065}=3$

Time = 3 years.
